WORK IN CONGRESS.
WHAT WILL PROBABLY BE DONE BEFORE
THB HOLIDAYS.


WASHINGTON, d. c., December 49,
There is no joint purpose on the pant Of the
Senators either to do or TO abstain from
doing any given thing duriDg the coming
week, unless, indeed, the unanimity OF
opinion in favor Of beginning the holiday
recess on Thursday or earlier, be accounted
q purpose. The Senate calendar contains
only three bills, which can be taken up for
action. One Of them provides for refund.
ing 10 the States the direct tax OF 1861,
and the other two relate 10 ports Of entry
in Oregon and Washington territory.
The Butler resolution to form special
postal telegraph committees till lies on the
table under motion 10 reconsider which
will probably be taken up and disposed Of
tomorrow, or at least before the holidays
The matters Of greatest general Interest
before the Senate, in executive session, are
the Cabinet nominations and these seem to
be awaiting the motion of the Judiciary
Committee, TO which the nominations Of
Messrs Lamar and Villas were tsent. The
committee has held no meeting thus far,
and none has yet been called for to'mor-
row, though Monday has for many years
been its regular meeting day. The belief
is general among Senators that no action
will be taken upon these nominations
until after the holiday recess. The nomi-
nation Of Secretary Fairchild has already
been reported from the Finance Commit
tee, and that Of Mr.. Dickinson Is ready to
he reported from the Postoflioe Committee.
Should the Senate see III 10 confirm the
nomination Of Mr.. Dickinson before II acts
upon those of MeRsrs. Lamar and Villas,
the President will doubtless withhold the
commission until such action is taken.
The total number OF nominations before
the Senate is i29, not more than q dozen
of which have been reported back from
committees.
The few days in which the House will
be in session during the coming week, will
in all probability I've devoted 10 the discus.
sion of the rules which are 10 govern the
proceedings Of the House for the present
Congress. The Committee on Rules, which
il is learned will be the only important
committee appointed before the rccess.
will he announced tomorrow and an early
will be had in order 10 enable
that committee TO formally organize and
proceed speedily TO the consideration Of the
proposed changes of rules which have
already been referred TO It.

CLARKsBURG, W. VA, December 49,
Some startling developments in regard to
the recent burglaries committed in this
city have come to light. Our people have
always believed that Boyles had accom-
plices, consequentlya plan was devised by
which to detect them. A certain man
was put in the jail, in the cell occupied
by Boyles. He beloved aud cried, and
told BOyles he would do anything to OBJ
tain liberty; consequently they prepared
plan Of operation and made saws for the
purpose of escaping. In the meanwhile
the sympathy and confidence of Boyles
were enlisted, and Boyles diyulged many
secrets and revealed facts which have since
proven only too true, as Officer Kidd has
found some of the stolen property where
BOyles told the detective it was.
On to-day George Custer and Darlington
Taylor were arrested as accomplices of
Boyles, and will perhaps on tomorrow
have a preliminary examination. AS the
robberies occurred in the town, the city
officers felt it was their duty to ferret out
the matter, with the above result. Those
who had charge of the case and made the
arrests were w. F. Richards, Mayor, and
G. S. Kidd, policeman. The officers say
they have sufficient evidence to establish
the grilt of three persons now in Jail. We
are informed that others are suspected as
being connected with the burglaries, and
it is hoped they will be apprehended and
properly punished. One thing is certain
that the wholesome execution of the law
and severe punishment of its violaters, will
meet the approval of all law abiding citi-

BURTON, December 1s.-A sad suicide
took place near here to-day. Miss Rebeccs
HOstutler was a domestic living in the
house Jese Curry, one and one-half miles
from this place. Some time ago she was
disappointed in a love affair, by young
man of this vicinity, and the matter has
weighed heavily upon her mind. She
daily grew more desperate, and he condi-
tion attracted the attention of friends.
About noon to-day she left the house and
went to a grain house near by. Securing a
rope she adjusted it about her neck and
hung herself. When the Mortified family
found her some time later she was dead,

BuSTON, December lS.-After being out
twenty-iOur hours, the jury in the cele-
brated Robson murder trial agreed to dis
agree, and were discharged for the same.
Regardless cf the weight Of evidence
against her and the accumulated counts in
the indictment, the prisoner would
have still escaped if fifteen min
utes more had elapsed before
summoning the jury. The finger of fate
seems against the woman whom every one
believes guilty of one Of the most heinOuS
crimes OF the century. At sos the jury
were called and announced their disagree
ment. Foreman Swan stated that after
a whole day of ballOting they stood II for
acquittal and l juryman, Samuel l..
Strauss being the solitary one who be-
lieved that the evidence had fully
proved the crime The foreman stated
euriously enough that while there was not
man upon the Jury who did not fully be-
lieve that Mrs. Robinson was guilty, they
still, however, felt that the government had
not proved the crime Mrs. Robinson was
then turned over to the Sheriff and her new
trial will proceed Immediately. She was

are counts in the indictment she can be
